On the Field: Lake County makes its first of two trips to Day Air Ballpark in 2025. The Captains will return to Dayton for a six-game series between August 5-10. The teams last met at Lake County in a six-game set between June 10-15. The Captains took four of the six games.
The Dragons recently added infielders Carlos Sanchez and Jack Moss. Sanchez was promoted from Single-A Daytona. Moss suffered a thumb injury in spring training and missed the first half of the season.
Sanchez was batting .308 in 60 games with Daytona, with four home runs, 33 RBI, and 13 stolen bases. He ranked first in the Florida State League in on-base percentage (.429), second in batting average, tied for fourth in hits, and third in walks. Sanchez was named Florida State League Player of the Week two times earlier this season. The Dominican Republic native was signed by the Reds as an international free agent in 2022.
Moss was a star at Texas A&M, where he led the Southeastern Conference in hits while finishing second in batting average (.380) as a sophomore in 2022. He was the Reds 11th round draft pick in 2023.
